Does anyone know how to highlight text during a slide show?  Can it be done in 2003 and/or 2007?

    There is a workaround:

    You may highlight by copying the style of a highlighted text in word into powerpoint.

    I did not find other ways up to now - absurd!

    For highlighting during slideshow, you can use the Pointer options.

    Right-click on the slideshow window, choose Pointer options -> Highlighter.

    Ok - I think I figured out it is during a slide show - but I only see a pen option, I can't highlight the text with that.  And is there a way to save the highlighting action with a show or do you just have to do it live every time?

    Thank you - but I don't know what you mean by right-click on the slideshow window.  I tried clicking on the text box.  Can you be more specific?  Do you meanduringthe slide show?
